outdoorrick Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 After the battle regarding canoeing on Martindale, I understand that a boat ramp was going to be built on Henley Island....when is that supposed to happen...looking forward to fishing the pond for panfish soon as the ice is almost gone...will it be only for canoes and kayaks or will tin boats be allowed....the way I read the NFN site the announcement said BOAT RAMP...here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightfisher Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Canoe and kayak only. Will not be wide enough for a tinny. That was a concern about tinnys and jet skis having access . This is strickly a canoe/kayak launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 The rowing club would shut it down in a second if anyone is whipping around there with a 9.9. I do not think they gave in very willingly to allow it to go in, so if they can say IT CREATES A HAZARD ... it would be gone very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskicker09 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 ill be launching my tin boat there anyways not such thing as to narrow for a tin boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrorshowrot Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 If they say no tin boats/out boards I would advise listening other wise it gives the rowing club a reason to give us the boot the community fought very hard for this respect it.

smerchly Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 There will be no "ramp" to launch boats . There will be a small narrow path to a small dock for canoes or yaks . And I believe parking will be where we presently park near the Bailey bridge . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Rob....the bridge at the Henley Island .....may not be a real Bailey bridge but it's built like one .lol There are also locals who use tinnies in there and some have docks on the 12 Mile , opposite the island . If we can't park where the new dock will be located , we can unload the gear at the dock & then park about 100 m. to the present parking lot ......not much different than at some marinas . That is the way I understand it ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
